WOMEN POLITICIANS today: POWER thru all-consuming HATRED, REVENGE, BETRAYAL, DIVISIVENESS, DECEIT
Where are the Joans of Arc, Isabella of Castille, Katherine the Great, Agustina of Aragon, Pasionaria, Elizabeth I? Women who would not follow the trodden path of power exercised by men but would stand out, and up, to lead the world in a different direction?

Know thyself: WALK in SILENCE outdoors in the FRESH AIR, away from it all
I am discussing and reading from an excellent book, which I highly recommend: "A Philosophy of Walking", by Frederic Gros, translated by John Howe and Andy Bliss, (2014, 2015, 2023), published by Verso. The author discusses 'Walking' as a 'break' from work, a stroll, but more intensely, as being alone, with yourself, and its effects on the soul, and mind, using many philosophers (Nietzsche, Rousseau, Thoreau, Kant....) as examples of how 'walking' affected them and their philosophies.

George Soros and The Open Society Foundations. Who and what are they?
Much in the news, pro and against, here are my conclusions.
One of my sources is an interview with a young man who has studied Soros in some depth. Title: "What you didn't know about George Soros", with Creo.TV (Spanish)

NIGER : A CROSSROADS. 'Archduke Ferdinand' moment or 'a new page' in world hegemony?
'God chooses the weak to shame the strong'. What we are living through today will be studied by future generations in history books. The beginning of the end or end of the beginning? I have no solutions or valid explanations - simply asking the question. How do you see where the world is going? Optimistic or pessimistic about the future?

The First Genocide of Catholics in the Modern Era: French Revolution and Le Vendee
This is a translation into English of an interview conducted in Creo.Tv, (Spain), about the book "La Guerra de La Vendee" (The War in Le Vandee), written by Professor Historian Alberto Barcena Perez. The interviewer is Alex Navajas, the programme is 'El Buscador' (The Seeker, or In Search of...). The title of the program is: LA VENDÉE: The first ( and hidden) genocide against Catholics in that era". I translated Professor Barcena's words due to the imprecision found many times in auto-translate.

Political Power, Wealth, always transient. Discussion of 'Life is a Dream'
"Life is a Dream", by Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681), Playwright. Theatre play, in verse, written at age 28. One of the treasures of Spanish Literature.
More than a discussion on Free Will vs Predestination, it is especially a treatise on Political Philosophy: How to govern well. Transience of power, life.

RUSSIAN Literature: a MUST for WESTERN teens; Gogol's Two Ivans pt 2
Nikolay Gogol (1809-1852). Extract from his short story about a quarrel between two good friends: 'How Ivan Ivanovich quarrelled with Ivan Nikiforovich' (1834), translated by Ronald Wilkes, published by Penguin Classics.
Also, the American translation: 'The Complete Tales of Nikolai Gogol', vol.2, Edited by Leonard J. Kent, original translation by Constance Garnett. Constance Garnett translated at the beginning of the 20thc a great number of Russian literature. However, most needed to be updated, as her translations were not altogether perfect, sometimes leaving out passages, etc. In any case, we owe her a debt of gratitude for all her work in making this wonderful literature available to English readers.

FBI: Trad Catholics; CIA : Trad Orthodox
# 58. Answering your Comments, among them issues of Catholic/Orthodox divide. Also, Part 2 of the video 'Abuse of Power, Moral Decadence, Sexual Depravity: Procopius 'Secret History' about Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora, 6thc. Procopius (500-565 AD)'. The very tail-end of the decline of the Roman empire: moral degeneracy exemplified in corruption, violence, killings, gangs; leading to sexual depravity ending up, inevitably, with children being involved. Why are these two aspects of moral degeneracy, i.e. moral decadence and sexual depravity, always show up at a time of civilizational decline?
Justinian, the 'great law-giver' appears as a hateful tyrant, wedded to an ex-prostitute; and Belisarius, the brilliant general whose secretary Procopius himself had been, is seen as the pliable dupe of his wife Antonina, a woman as corrupt and scheming as Theodora.

Pence, Pope, Pompeo: Is Mike Pence aware there are two Orthodox Churches in Ukraine?
Two Churches: The traditional Ukranian Orthodox Church - UOC -(affiliated to the Moscow Patriarchate) and the newly-formed (1992) Orthodox Church of Ukraine OCU - active now (since 2017) against the traditional one. The one being raided, priests arrested etc., is the traditional, not the new one.
Excerpt from an article:
(Not shown: Photograph of the breaking doors open of cathedral and storming into the 'Transfiguration' Cathedral in Bila Tserkva. (screenshot of the Telegram channel "Bila Tserkva – City of Good".
Excerpt from article:
"The spokesman of the OCU announced the victory over "supporters of the Russian world" in Bila Tserkva. In his opinion, the defenders of the UOC Cathedral "have no honor".
"Bishop of Bila Tserkva" Ivan (Eustratiy) (NAME OF ARTICLE AUTHOR) announced in his telegram channel that his subordinates managed to seize the Transfiguration Cathedral of the UOC.
"This morning, the rector of the temple, Archpriest Mykolai Hopainych, and representatives of the eparchy, together with security guards, arrived at the Transfiguration Cathedral to finally enter it, remove the obstacles, created by the supporters of the ‘Russian world’," ( NAME OF AUTHRO) wrote, adding that Hopainych went inside at 9 in the morning.
According to the "bishop", the parishioners' defense of their shrine is a "pro-Russian provocation".
"If they had dignity, they would have fulfilled the decision of the Bila Tserkva community and vacated the cathedral without creating a ‘show’ for further circulation of anti-Ukrainian propaganda," (NAME OF AUTHOR) said.
Let us add that the invaders cut the doors to the cathedral with a grinder and broke it open with a sledgehammer.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the UOC cathedral is being seized in Bila Tserkva".

When one's Memory begins to fail and the Past is Home & the Present a Foreign Land
Couple of comments on 1st part of "Time Shelter" by Georgi Gospodinov, published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson 2023, Winner of the International Booker Prize 2023.
In "Time Shelter", an enigmatic flaneur named Gaustine opens a "Clinic for the Past" that offers a promising treatment for Alzheimer's sufferers: each floor reproduces a decade in minute detail, transporting patients back in time. But as the rooms become more convincing, and incrasing number of healthy people seek out the clinic as a "time shelter2, hoping to escape from the horrors of our present.....

O our Lords and Masters!Allow us to lick your boots! Authoritarianism leading to Totalitarianism
#49 On Freedom vs Security. "A dog's heart" by Milhail Bulgakov. Censured in the early 1920s. Published about 60 years later, well after his death. Became very popular in Russia as a critique of early Soviet Society. Well worth reading. A society moving from autocracy and authoritarianism to totalitarianism.

Russians' Acceptance of Suffering vs our Denial of it. Scott Ritter/Garland Nixon interview
Scott Ritter was referring to what he called Russians' Threshold of Pain'. I agree based just on the reading of Russian Literature, but prefer to call it 'Acceptance of Suffering'. Suffering as an integral part of Life. We do not accept suffering.... not so willingly for the most part. What to do when confronted with life? Looking away and ignoring pain might not last forever. We can numb our pain for so long, but not forever. Reality (Truth) will catch us unprepared.
Acceptance, or Awareness: first step to get back into physical, psychological, spiritual shape (rejuvenation).
